Mastering Curves in Adobe Photoshop CS5 with Ben Willmore
Just as layers are the most powerful feature in Photoshop, curves are the most powerful adjustment. So powerful, in fact, that many adjustments you normally use (such as brightness and contrast, levels, and color balance) are actually simplified versions of curves. With that in mind: if you can master curves, you can master adjustments and Ben Willmore will show you how.
In this 2-disc set, Ben takes the concept and principles of the curves adjustment feature and breaks it down into two categories, tone and color. Ben shows you the ins and outs of curves, how to read the curves graph, and how to apply what that graph is showing you to add the perfect tonality and/or color to your images for that professionally adjusted look.
